Conductive Weapon+Pool strike

Could a magus use a conductive weapon to activate pool strike (by spending 2 arcane pool points)?

A conductive weapon is able to channel the energy of a spell-like or supernatural ability that relies on a melee or ranged touch attack to hit its target (such as from a cleric's domain granted power, sorcerer's bloodline power, oracle's mystery revelation, or wizard's arcane school power). When the wielder makes a successful attack of the appropriate type, he may choose to expend two uses of his magical ability to channel it through the weapon to the struck opponent, which suffers the effects of both the weapon attack and the special ability. (If the wielder has unlimited uses of a special ability, she may channel through the weapon every round.) For example, a paladin who strikes an undead opponent with her conductive greatsword can expend two uses of her lay on hands ability (a supernatural melee touch attack) to deal both greatsword damage and damage from one use of lay on hands. This weapon special ability can only be used once per round, and only works with magical abilities of the same type as the weapon (melee or ranged).

Pool Strike wrote:

Benefit: The magus can expend 1 point from his arcane pool as a standard action to charge his free hand with energy. He can make a melee touch attack with that hand as a free action as part of activating this ability. If the touch attack hits, it releases the charge and deals 2d6 points of energy damage (acid, cold, electricity, or fire, chosen when he spends the arcane pool point to activate this ability). He can use this ability with the spellstrike class feature. If he misses with this attack, he can hold the charge for up to 1 minute before it dissipates. At 6th level, and every three levels thereafter, the amount of damage dealt by this attack increases by 1d6.

Pool Strike is a supernatural ability that relies on a touch attack to hit its target. It should work with a conductive weapon.

Yeah, that was my reasoning as well.

You think maybe he could also combine it with an extra spellstrike (as it is part of Pool Strike's effect that it can be delivered via spellstrike) or would the elemental damage be just added on the target?

I will Bump this thread with an additional question:

With a conductive weapon, does this mean that he can effectively spellstrike AND pool strike in 1 round? Is the pool damage still longer crit-able? It's not being used with spellstrike anymore so I can see this being debatable.

In example: Fred the Magus has two attacks at +9/+4. He uses spell combat, opting to take his two attacks first, then spellstrike. His first attack hits (we won't bring up whether he crit or not, as really I want to hear everyone's opinion on whether it CAN crit the pool damage). Fred decides to expend 2 points from his arcane pool to apply pool strike damage. Fred misses his second attack, but hit's with his spell strike applying (insert touch spell here).

Is this viable?

Regardless, this starts to get crazy in dpt. Especially if you add in feats like Butterfly's sting to set up for spellstrike critical and wyroot weapons to gain pool points every critical.

Yes, you can spellstrike and conductively pool strike on the same hit.

I don't believe that anything used through Conductive can crit. You're not attacking with that melee touch attack - you hit a target, and then, after you hit, you choose to inflict your pool strike on them. Even on a natural 20, I suspect you cannot crit with Conductive.

But I am not certain.
